Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...Cup with a crew composed of seven Cambridge men and one Oxonian. In 1880 it was again successful with a crew of seven Oxonian and one Cantab, T. C. Edwards-Moss being captain and No. 7. Thenceforward its appearances at Henley became more regular. In 1888 a very powerful mixed crew was got together under the captaincy of the late D. H. McLean, but it was defeated with great slaughter by a magnificent crew from the Thames Rowing Club. The Club went down again in the following year before the same rivals.

Rowe, then secretary of Leander, records that "the rowing successes of Leander of late years have not been very great, though a Leander crew is always formidable 'on paper, ' and comprises a good selection of 'Varsity oars. Want of practice and combination usually outweighs individual skill.... Since 1880 all attempts to carry off the much-coveted prize have proved futile." In this very year, however, Mr. Rowe's remarks ceased to be true, and the era of futility came to an end. In 1891, Oxford had won the University Boat-race by only half a length. Their crew was a very strong one, but not well arrange...
